Definite word lias just boon
received that the Social Secu
rity act passages which forced
college fraternities and sorori
ties to pay special employment
taxes has definitely been can
celled by a special act of con
gress. Notification was made to
the executive committee of the
National Interfraternity Con
ference. The new amendment jroes in
to effect on .Jan. 1, 1940, and
provides that "domestic service
in a private home, local college
club, or local chapter of a col
lege fraternity or sorority" be
exempted after that date.
The measure also excepts
from the jurisdiction of the
Social Security act any service
that does not provide a remu
neration that exceeds $1.") and
service that is "performed by
a student who is enrolled and
is reglarly atonding classes at
a school, college or university."
This news is welcome here.
Every fraternity and sorority
on the campus, with the excep
tion of two who have still
chosen to fight the present
taxes, will find its bookkeeping
problems and finance burdens
somewhat relieved. The Student
Union, which will also come uiv
der the amendment, will also be
relieved of the embarrassment
of politely telling uninformed
persons who have not heard of
the identification card ruling
that they cannot be served.
Demos take lead in fourth
Daily campus political poll
G. O. P. political hopes declined
slightly this week, as the DAILY
"Weekly Survey of Student Opin
ion," Bhowed a drop in republican
support on the Nebraska campus
from 51.8 percent recorded a week
ago to 48.5 percent at the present
time. Democrats secured a back
ing of 50 percent and socialists
1.5 percent, a .3 percent drop from
their standing in the last survey.
Still leading the candidates with
sizable margins are Roosevelt at
the head of the democrats and
Thomas E. Dewey at the head of
the republicans, both of whom
captured 30 percent of the votes
cast. The survey contacts one per
cent of the registered student body
from all parts of the campus each
week.
Small fry.
Among the democratic candi
dates, Paul McNutt held second
place with a backing of 13.3 per
cent and Garner trailed with a 7
percent support. Republican senti
ment is weekly becoming more
and more organized behind the
New York district a'.orney, while
other candidates are losing back
ing steadily. Seven percent of
those interviewed supported the
Ohio Benator, Taft, and only men
tion was made of Herbert Hoover,
Senator Bridges, the Kansas Gov-
erno" Landon, Senator Vandenberg
and Senator Borah.
Not 12 years.
The steady decline in third term
popularity was halted temporarily
as the 43 percent backing recorded
for it last week was repeated
again in yesterdays survey. Opin
ions cited in explanation of the
votes indicate that the main rea
son for opposing a third presiden
tial term is that students feel If
a man can't serve his country in
eight years, it's certain he can't do
it in twelve.
Percentages recorded in the
campus survey follow closely the
trend in political sentiments in the
nation as a whole, as found in the
Journal "Survey of Public Opin
ion." The increase in the demo
cratic following over the repub
lican this week suggests that a
larger number of students in view
of war are opposed to changing
horses in the middle of the stream
Royal prince

German author talks
on unity of European
culture in first speech
"A fundamental concept of Eu
ropean oneness" was the keynote
of Prince Hubcrtus zu Loewen
stein's opening lecture in the four
weeks' series on "Present Day Eiv
rope" which began yesterday.
Prince Zu Loewenstein's services
were offered to the university by
the Carnegie Endowment of In
ternational Peace.
Stressing the idea that Europe,
In spite of Its present wars, is a
unity culturally, Prince Loewen
stein traced Its development of
oneness from the time of the Ro
man Empire, through Tapacy
dominance, to the Holy Roman
Empire of the middle ages.
Also emphasized was the idea
that the form was not totalitarian
but a federation of states with a
tolerance for all peoples, cultures
and religions.
Prince Loewenatein. an exi'.pJ
Austrian prince, praised the reign
of Frederick the Great as extreme
ly modern in its federal system, its
toleration, and its unity. He said
that although Frederick was i
German prince, he regarded him
self as not a German but as an
European ruler.
Prince Loewenstein will speak
on the subject "I Saw the Allied
Mobilization" at the next war
forum Thursday at 4 p. m. in par
lors A and B of the Union, The
nrince was in France when the
allies declared war against Ger
many and can give a first hand
account of allied efforts to meet
Germany ok its own grounds.
At the close of the lecture
round-table discussion will be held

Submarine and air activity In
creased in intensity this after
noon. Fighting on the western
front, however, was confined to
local unit skirmishes.
The British Admiralty reported
the loss of two more ships, but
claimed that two German subma
rines had been attacked by the
Royal Air Force, and were be
lieved to have been sunk.
Rumors are current in London
tonight that a de jure German
government, headed by author
Herrmann Rauschnigg, will be set
up in England. It will immediately
receive the recognition of the al
lied governments. British states
men, so the rumor goes, hope to
clarify their war aims in this man
ner, by showing the German peo
ple that the allies are fighting
Hitler and not the German
people.
In Taris tonight, Frenrh diplo
mats were becoming more opti
mistic. The recent British pact
with Turkey seems to have given
impetus to a feeling of confidence
nmong the French people. The
French tonight received news
from envoys in Russia that as
surance had been given that Rus
sia nail absolutely tiecuneu to ex
tend military assistance to Ger
many. Trade between Germany
and Russia, it was assserted, had
m to break down almost be
fore the commercial agreements
had been put in operation.
Italy s position is also becom
ing increasingly difficult. All pro
axis propaganda has been banned
from Italian newspapers, and ar
ticles criticising Hitler s alliance
with Russia are more frequent.
Christian Science Monitor corre-
pondents report a split between
il duce and his king, and predict
possible ousting of the entire
fascist regime. Winchell, Broad
way columnist, also forecasts a
breakup in the relations between
Hitler and Mussolini.

(Continued from Page 1.)
Immediately petitions were cir
culated about the campus asking
that the spirited editor be rein
stated. The origin of the petitions
is unknown. 1,500 students stood
ftehind Niemann.
There was an air of mystery
concerning the entire controversy.
The Publications Board declining
to make a statement until ofter
Monday's meeting.
In a published letter to the Stu
dent Publication Board the DAILY
staff asked that at least two rep
resentatives be present at the
meeting. Gayle Walker, board
chairman, invited the two manag
ing editors, Merrill Englund and
Dick decrown to attend the meet
ing. The staff based their request
on the fact that they had no in
formation concernine the issues
that Mr. Walker stated were in
